venus touches stars Photo

Photographer’s Note

in the right middle frame one can see the bright dot of venus with a group of stars called "pleiades or seven sisters" On april 11th these two were quite close and making a good pair to shoot. Taurus just next to elfy of venus and orion were bonuses to make this a complete night sky image. Lights in the lower frame are from the vehicles plying on the road.
A dotted line in the middle frame is a trail of a plane's blinking light.

Hallo from Germany!
An impressive picture of an interesting constellation. It was really worth a try and I think the result is satisfying. Your photo reminds of the fact that earth is only a vulnerable dust particle in universe ...I like this picture!
Greetings!
